The Connecticut address, 483 Providence Road, Danielson, listed for 10 donations is a single Dunkin' Donuts with a Massachusetts mailing address, 82 Flanders Road, Suite 301 in Westboro, Mass., that is the same as for 17 similar donations.

WMUR-TV found two men listed as the principals of the businesses, Dimitrios Moutoudis and Konstantino Skrivanos, and dozens of Dunkin' Donut locations in their names.

Stephen campaign spokesman Greg Moore said the business owners want to have their voices heard. He said New Hampshire law treats corporations like individuals, making the contributions legal.

New Hampshire state law allows businesses to make donations on par with individuals: Both are limited to a maximum of $5,000, WMUR's report said.

The New Hampshire attorney general's office told WMUR that it had no comment on the donations and was not investigating.
